Kelly Haught is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 24 years of experience supporting adults facing depressed and anxious moods. She works with people who struggle with stress management, diversity-related difficulties, unhealthy coping patterns, and negative self-talk, offering practical strategies and empathic guidance to help them make meaningful change.

Kelly approaches therapy from a belief that clients are the experts on their own lives and that a therapist's role is to assist in the process of change. She blends cognitive-based techniques with unconditional positive regard and supportive counseling to help clients increase insight, build awareness of needs, and develop healthier coping skills for everyday stressors. Her aim is to improve quality of life by addressing thinking patterns and behavior in ways that feel achievable and relevant.

As an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor who has completed graduate-level training and state licensure - she brings decades of clinical experience and a steady, collaborative presence. Kelly describes joining a client on their journey as an honor and focuses on practical steps toward the goals each person brings to therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Growth

Kelly uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where clients' perspectives guide the work - this approach helps people who need space to explore identity, values, and personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy offers practical exercises to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support emotional regulation and better stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kelly collaborates with each client to determine which combination of strategies best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Kelly is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to engage in ways that fit their schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care during life transitions, for busy caregivers, or when in-person attendance is not convenient, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical, goal-oriented work together.
